[9] RFR: 7145757: CertificateExtensions uses non-consistent key names

Yes, it will be extensive, but since we already make all keys OID, we should always call those set/get() with OIDs for performance. In case we might miss some, inside the implementation of get/set(), we can still accept names.

Also, it seems there is no need for a nameCache everywhere, you can probably maintain a global one inside OIDMap.

As for the IOException, I think it's because CRLExtensions does not have getExtension() that returns null. Now that you create another inconsistence that X509CRLImpl.getExtension() is starting to throw IOE while X509CertImpl.getExtension() does not.

Currently, when certificates are parsed, the extensions are added using the name, and when they are retrieved, they are also specified by name -- for example, X509CertImpl.getBasicConstraints() calls a get() method with the BasicConstraints alias as the lookup parameter.
